This jobless American returnee, Emeka Ojukwu Jnr,  is a disgrace to his late father and Ndigbo in general . . . . What he and the traditional ruler of Nawfia ( another jobless American returnee) did was a travesty of Igbo tradition and has  the word desperation written all over it . . .  Its obvious that he is brewing for war with the good people of Nnewi who conferred the title, Ikemba Nnewi , (not Ikemba of any other town or Igboland ) on his late father. . . Even if he is the rightful successor to his late father, it is only the traditional ruler of Nnewi that can confer him the  title Ikemba Nnewi II, since his father's title is Ikemba Nnewi  I. It is glaring that he is trying to usurp the rightful position of his elder step brother ; and this explains the rational behind his ignominious act of going to another town to receive the title of Ikemba II because he knows that he doesn't merit the title, and also that the traditional ruler of Nnewi wont give him the title.  . . 

My fellow Igbos on this forum should ask Emeka Ojukwu jnr this question:  Ikemba II of Where?? ? . .  Nnewi, Nawfia or Igboland?

bluediva is high on toxic suya missed with burantashi

a night like this presents the opportunity to hack down disliked players.
if you ask for the opinion of everyone, you would find out that everyone has a particular scapegoat they would love to blame for the loss.
for feck's sake, dayo has blamed torres tonight. he actually expected torres to score from the bench.

coogar:
with the squad brazil had in 2002, it would be a travesty if scolari didn't win the world cup.

what's porto's budget when they won the europa league in comparison to their adversaries.
besides that, villas-boas went a full season unbeaten. a feat arsenal fans still celebrate.

villas-boas won a treble of titles. how did he fluke that?

nateevs:
Then go ask Victor Perreira why he isn't running away with the league if it's that easy.
Also ask Moyes, Redknapp, Hughes, why they didn't win the Europa since AVB did it without much ado.

You guys are just insanely illogical. Your emotions are taking over and your supposedly rational views are soo skewed it's unbelievable.
No one saying AVB is the real deal but no ordinary manger wins a treble in his first season, record points, records goals and playing admirable football without being something special. I bloody do not care what league.

When Biafra's military resistance collapsed, [size=28pt]Ojukwu fled to Côte d'Ivoire[/size].

Efiong assumed leadership in this situation of turmoil, starvation, and collapse. He became Head of State of Biafra on 8 January 1970 and on 12 January announced surrender.[1]

At the time of the surrender, Efiong believed that the situation was hopeless and that prolonging the conflict would have led only to the further destruction and starvation of the people of Biafra. At that time Effiong said, "I am convinced now that a stop must be put to the bloodshed which is going on as a result of the war. I am also convinced that the suffering of our people must be brought to an immediate end."[1]

Nnaemeka L. Aneke wrote, "General Efiong’s handling of Biafra’s surrender is one of the most tactical and devoted maneuvers ever seen on the Nigerian scene. Those who do not appreciate the depth of it may not have appreciated what was at stake as Biafra capitulated."[2] Many observers had expected wholesale retribution at war's end.
[edit]

Later life


In a 1996 interview, Efiong reflected on those events:

I have no regrets whatsoever of my involvement in Biafra or the role I played. The war deprived me of my property, dignity, my name. Yet, I saved so many souls on both sides and by this, I mean Biafra and Nigeria. . . .

I felt that I played a role which has kept this country united till today. . . .

At the end of it all when I saw they (Biafran soldiers) could no longer continue and [size=28pt]Ojukwu had fled[/size], I did what was ideal after wide consultation . . . [2]

Efiong died 6 November 2003, at the age of 78 less than two weeks before his 79th birthday.

Mister? AVB ain'tno Scolari. . . .AVB won a treble in his first season in charge at Porto.
It's no fluke. One of the primary ingredients is the players he had. His main striker Radamel Falcao is now at Athletico Madrid. .
Go check out what he's doing even under a different manager.

Don't tell me if we have Lavezzi, he may not perform well. How did AVB get the best out of Falcao, Hulk, Guarin, Moutinho? Please mate. Because these players are class players. Simple!

afrodoc:
but bros nateevs[size=18pt] scolari had won d WORLD CUP and TWO COPA LIBERTADORES TITLES before coming to chelsea[/size]!sinnce he had a record of success wit different teams he was not a fluke,ur AVB on d other hand might be a one season wonder, he myt b d fluke!

StarBoard:
Chelsea really didn't have any rhythm all game long.Lampard didn't add or take away much from the side tonight.
Aside from Mata everyone else doesn't deserve their match fees.
For the life of me how does Luiz keep getting starting berths in this side?

nateevs:
Don't mind them. As if this requires genius to see.
By now, one should see Lamps getting on the ball providing the passes.

If anything, it's disrupted any rhythm we had.
If Lamps and Essien are poorer than Meireles and Malouda, how good is the squad?
Bearing in mind that Ramires, Meireles and Malouda and very average players.

coogar:
see lampard almost assisting napoli again.
this lampard is a fat useless b@stard.

ashley cole saved chelsea there.

coogar:
lampard would ruin the pace needed to get the 2nd goal.
abeg, lampard na overkill.

all i wanna see here is nando torres!
drogba has been uber-useless.
