The holy book says, my people perish for lack of knowledge, we need to know what we are talking about here, 1st and foremost what is amnesty, my dictionary says its a period of time during which people can admit to a crime or give up weapons without being punish. Now its clear, there isnt any money or package attached to it, it doesnt necessarily means bokoharam will be given money for killing people, to me its just a way to disarm and bring them into the society again without punishment. Hence amnesty to bokoharam is nt out of place, IF package isnt included. But my fear is will they accept it, since what they are asking for cannot be granted, poverty isnt bokoharams problem, but the islamization of Nigeria. So now the only 2 solution i will suggest is: Let the northern elites, muslim scholars, teachers and their elders tell bokoharam that Nigeria can never be an absolute islamic state, that they should just learn to practice their religion peacefully side by side with others. This should be done openly on the media,,before granting them amnesty. OR the fg should declare the affected state total state of emergency, open temporary camps, so that ordinary citizens can stay there while the military action is carried out, to smoke the terrorist out.

Look who is talking, Nigerians can never carryout revolution, not because we are timid, but its God doing, in my church we pray everyday for Nigeria in distress, you thing God does answer prayer? Nigerians i will say are the most religious people in world,hence God is closer to Nigeria, Nigeria of today isnt the Nigeria of 2012, we are moving forward, we will definitely get there. My prayer isnt revolution anymore, because i have got hope for a better Nigeria.

noblezone: You make me laugh bro
1. Nigeria is a not a nation! Nigeria is rather a failed experiment of the British colonial masters.
2. I cannot be a patriot Nigerian! I used to be but not anymore: my little niece was denied admission to a federal govt college, while those she out performed by far were admitted on the excuse that she is not from catchment area. The last job application I wrote (before I started struggling on my own), I was instructed to write my state of origin at the back of my envelop. Quota is used rather than competence. I cannot be patriotic to a Nation where I don't have equal rights with fellow citizens. Let me not talk about my kinsmen slaughtered daily in their numbers especially in Northern Nigeria as if they are goats.
3. My niece should get an apology from Nigeria first before I will start thinking of how to apologies to Nigeria.
4. My allegiance and patriotism is reserved to Biafra: the emerging "Japan" of Africa.

mumu, Nigeria can NEVER, i repeat NEVER divide. A time will come comments like this, or flying a flag other than the Nigerian flag will be an offence. As for ur niece that was denied admission, due to quota system, is still one of the failed policy that needs to be abolished.

See question o, na wa o, its the way the kid is being brought up, couple with environmental influence, everything na levels, i tink d degree of kids being rude is higher abroad, than in nigeria, u cnt compare na. But children dy dis country inside those butty estate 4 lag, abj and other urban cities, wen spoil like shyt o nd na their parents cause am. Bt d difference is u fit break d pikin head 4 9ja notin go happen, bt 4 yank...b4 u even shout 4 ur pikin, police don handcuff u.

Speaking the truth, nigerians aint poor o, i can say 4 d southern part of Nigeria, in my neigbourhood, we have people who stay in 1 room and palour, bt can afford 2 run gen every nite, i mean literarily every nite, calculate fuel of i beta pass my neibour 4 every nite jst 4 a mnth, u ll c how much dis pple spend. Even young primary 6 cert holders doing helpers to bricklayers use flashy phones, go clubing every friday in warri. Tel me say, na food be their problem? Bt then our leaders stil nid to be accountable, we cn do far better than this.

Billyonaire: I am in the private sector bro.

Billyonaire: The problem is that you do not know the cost of the car. What I am seeing there is an older model that goes for as low as $57,000 and can be cheaper if purchased at Auction. How much do you think a new Landcruiser cost ? Yet, thats the official car that politicians use. People think its cheaper but its more expensive. Nigeria is not poor, believe me, as far as you are doing something, you are bound to be a millionaire.

see the big money when u dy mention, u must be a very rich government man. Spread the joy, let me also talk in millions too. But 1st i need a job, can u help me?

Billyonaire: Whats wrong with having Porsche as Official car ? Are we in recession in Nigeria ? Last time I checked, this is not Cyprus. We are an oil nation goddamnit. It time we start living large in this wonderful country with near-zero tax regime and stop lamenting, some some South African and Ghanians keep messing with us cos we are too humble. Let us show them we live beyond forking $2 per day. LOL!!!

hope u dey feel me? Make i give u my cv? am serious o.

Billionaire, i knw say u get plenty mney and u get work wen dy pay u well, dats y u r vry ok with dis pdp govt of mediocrity and wastefulness, thats also y u want d status quo to remain and dnt want a revolution in this country. Well i jst want something from you, i am an unemployed graduate, i have served, although am nt idle, bt am in need of a job. Help a brother in need, so that i can at least be supporting u in this forum.

ngozievergreen: which thread? Thread that yorubas decided to parade as south southerners? Mtchew
igbos no dey SS? Delta north n Rivers no be igbo?

We know say, na our oil wells wen the west and north dy drill, dy make dem no want us to go. By 2014, dat almagatn go expire, we go knw d next step to take.

Even though we praying Nigeria is peaceful, bt The funny thing is these so called ss spoken persons(that is if they even 4rm ss), are jst some few previledged guys staying in lagos, who do not knw wats happening in real life here in the niger delta. We know the enemy of progress in this country is the north, so who no wan progress?

malc619: ^^

Abeg remove SS from your sucide mission
a
Thanks

and who made u SS's mouth piece. Look dem no dy f uck ashawo 2 times. I rather stay with economic progressive giants d igbos than bookworm sw or d abokis

Lollypop 9 over 10 for you. Thats an excellent result for u swt.

Na una sabi, i don drop my message. People defending whats nt correct, some referencing to another wrong act to justify their. Smgdfh 4 my brodas.

Policewoman: I smell Mischief in this post. Why the emphasis on Israeli flags? I pass vehicles everyday and I see people with U.S, U.K, Man U, Chelsea and even Jamaican flags. Either the OP is indirectly attacking Christianity or a certain ethnic group which we all know. And I won't be surprised if the OP also belongs to that ethnic group which always looks for others trouble,.

sori to disappoint u, i am a nigerian, i dnt do tribalism, i asked a simple question, if u cnt answer, den move. Why should a Nigerian be flying other country's flag, or call him or herself jew? Its wrong and doesnt make sense.

Ngwakwe: All these Megalomaniac hyper-intelligent commentators that are shouting inferiority complex. I have a choice and freedom of association as enshrined in UN Declaration of Human Right to fly Israeli Flags in my fleet.

I love the Jews and by default I love Israel the homeland of the Jewish people. It is my choice to associate with a people with highest Nobel Price Winner per capital in the world.

It doesn't have to upset you unless you are an arrogant self-deluder.

The Jews made Israel great, a young country that belongs to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

I love their die-hard spirit and innovations in every sphere of human endeavours.

alrite am learning something, thats good. Its gud to associate with great nation. I wish they recorgnise us too. But i will i say, us didnt make isreal, or uk didnt make us great, d isrealis made their country what it is 2day. Work towards making yours great, so that u can fly ur flag proudly. I still will fly d green white green, anyday, anytime, come rain, come shine.

aryzgreat: At d boldened is wrong, do u know that some Jews are xtians? Do u know that there are churches in Israel? Church of Nativity being maintained by the catholic church is an example. In as much as majority of Jews practice judaism, dat does not mean there are no Jewish Xtians. there are also coptic xtians. Get ur fact ryt.

And for the yorubas tribalising this topic, i can only say that igbos are giving u pple sleepless nyt, u can only whine and bark but u cannot bite. I rada fly d flag of israel as an igbo cos israel is one of the country that recognised and gave some support to biafra just the way an Hausa muslim will get brain gay trying to cram arabic scribbled koran when he culd not even read his lingua franca. Its a matter of interest. Stop hating!

so far i think this is the only reasonable answer that is worth considering, u knw i wasnt born during the civil war, so u mean its because isreal recorgnised biafra then? I neva knew. Secondly isreal is a jewish country, and that doesnt mean there are no churches there, the catholic church thr doesnt make them a christian nation, so u get ur facts right.

[quote author=One_Naira]This is one of the reason I find Nigeria a waste of space on the prominent African continent. This is a nation where free speech, free belief and free right are refused for the citizen. Everybody and everything have to hold the same f2ked up view, if not, it's a ridicule the other person views fiesta. What a wasteful country. Smh. OP despite claiming your intent was genuine, anybody can see it was not as you claim. So in your view, you justify others flying USA or UK flag but Isreal has to be condemn why? Well based on the replies I read thus far, it's una racism. Funny how a set of people point fingers to another race and condemning and insulting for displaying racism while at the same time, they are equally displaying racism to that same race they are condemning. in what way, are any of una better than the Isrealians that you all deemed racist? a pot calling the kettle black. LMFAO. I advise you all to view yourself in another's person of view cause you all are equally as racist as the Isrealians as you all have displayed on this thread, pathetic

Anyway to address the OP, the same you justify flying USA or UK is the same way anyone can justify flying the Isreal flag going by your flimsy justification attempt. Going by your flimsy justification attempt, I can equally say the people flying an Isreal flag are doing so to praise Jesus, who no matter how una spin it was and is still till this day regarded as a Jew. born and raised in Isreal. Or they are flying the flag because Judaism is the religion they practice. Your flimsy justification attempt applies to them as we'll but we know your intent so of course, you couldn't see it.

I find it hilarious the people telling others to read the history of Christianity are at the same time spreading a short sense of the history just to justify their hatred of another race. So because the Jews killed Jesus, he was not a jerusalem citizen anymore is that it? He was not a Hebrew anymore abi? If sero wiwa become a prophet for some today, not saying he would but using it as an example, because Nigeria murdered the man cold blood, his worshippers should then disregard he was actually a citizen of that nation and in fact practice the religion of that nation even though t he religion meant for him differ from the religion he practiced correct? SMH at the desperate attempt to justify their racism. In case una aren't aware the Jesus you worship was infant a Jew. The old testament in your bible was some parts of the torah. The Jews persecuted him due to the fact they disapproved of his parade as the son of God. They saw that act of his an abomination, equally the same way african saw anyone parading themselves as the diety of the Gods without recognition by the same Gods back then as an abomination. Yes till this day they still disregard Jesus as the so of God and they have every right to do so. The same way Christians do not view God as Allah, the same way Muslims see Christianity as the wrong religion and infidels, the same was Hinduism do not see either Jesus, God as the rightful diety, the same way Buddhism do not follow either religion belief and the same way African traditional worshippers do not follow either religion beliefs is the same way the freaking Jews have the right not to choose Jesus as the son of God. I equally find it hilarious, the same jesus they persecuted, arised from the death and forgave them for that act yet the individuals that claims to worship and follow his footstep aren't. So much for following the bible and words of God. Smh!!! This is why all nation in Africa and outside actually see Nigerian Christianity as fake as it can get.

I am not practicing Judaism. I am Infact a catholic but like they are allowing una to practice your Muslim, Christianity in peace in nigeria allow those that practice Judaism in peace in that same freaking Nigeria. Just because una despise Isreal with all una hearts based on each of una writing on this thread doesn't mean everyone should follow una myopic hatred. Abeg free people jor. I can't stand how people dictate how others should see and view the world in their own eyes. Smh.[/quote]oboy ur story too long jor, where did i justify d carrying of other people's flag? I only askeed some questions, which i tried to answer by myself for us, uk and ghana, but for isreal, i dnt knw, and the jew thing, i dnt knw. I neva justified anyone carrying another country's flag my friend.

[quote author=I no know book]Nearly cannot kill a bird. You are not an ibo and your are biased! [/quote]why i go claim igbo, sorry o, i be urhobo man. Hope u knw d state? If u do, u ll understand, why i say, am close to igbo.

dmalam: na ISRAEL nt ISREAL.....knw hw to spell it nw, ka ji ko?

oga no be my country, its spelt either way, ok. As micheal is spelt michael and micheal. Why do u guys find pleasure in pointing irelevance things, me i no go school o.

1oracle: A fool like you with foolish identity is not worried nor bothered about Arabics in your naira but you are so troubled by some people flying isreali flags. Are you not ashamed that your foolish tribe is so scared and so afraid to lose the igbos? Those without identity wants a country of their own but you and your foolish tribe is so scared to allow that happen because you life depends on them.

yes o, nigeria depends on the igbos o, so also if igbo should go, they will be nobody, if we stick together the beta 4 us all, imagine a nigeria without igbo or yoruba or hausa or my own urhobo. Nigeria beautiful people, great nation.

Jews are no christian, they dont believe in christ 4 God's sake. flying another country's flag is inferiority complex. Take it or leave it, Nigeria is greater than isreal.

[quote author=I no know book]You are being hypocritical, if you were able to 'understand why people fly American and British flags but not the Israelis'. The reasons you gave for your so called 'understanding', were too flimsy. If I were to go by your process of reasoning, I am more likely to understand the reason behind flying of the Israelis' flag than that of any country, after all, Jesus Christ was born in Israel.
So, I see this post as a pathetic attempt to deride an ethnic group knowing fully well that a minority amongst the group traces their root back to Israel. We are not fooled. Shame to you![/quote]bros o, me am nt into dat ur ethnic bashing u guys do everyday here, i am a rational nigeria, who believe in 1 nigeria, and for ur information i am closer to igbo, than to any major tribe.

[quote author=madame_bebe]Perhaps they don't see what you see in the nigerian flag then? When ones country is weak, its not suprising to see them claiming another..

I'm just trying not to be hypocritical because sincerely I would rather fly another flag than the nigerian one, flag is not my lineage so you see where I'm coming from[/quote]madam u will anoda country's flag, after they have used their sweat and blood to build? smh, i no fit blame u sha, na our wrong leaders cause am.

Arcard: so any body dat put isrealis flag na igbo, british flag yoruba,saudi flag northerners american flag ?

but wait o, i didnt direct my post to any tribe, until someone said its igbo and unsuprisingly i started seeing igbo names defending why they are carrying another country's flag up and down.

Hope no be april fool

[quote author=madame_bebe]Beacuse in the bible they read, israel is described as the land flowing with miliki and honey so who won't want to claim it?

Op make sure you walk around wearing your native attire afterall why you wan be westerner? Wear your nigerian attire o jare .. Its 'inferiority complex and ignorance' when you remove your ancestors identity to have americana own.. Stop claiming civilized, its for the westerners only..

Perhaps this is how they see it .. What do you think?[/quote]na lie o, we are talking of flag u talking abt clothing, do u know the meaning of a flag?

Ngwakwe: Don't mind them, Arabs are angelic beings whilst Jews are they devil.

Boko Harams are Israeli Jews or Jewish conspiracy at best.

Why can't a grown up mind his business and allow people to exercise their Universal Freedom of Association without sticking their nose where the sun don't shine?

igbo u r smarteer than this na, i believe the rise of Nigeria economically and technologically lies in the hands of igbo,if the right conditions are met, i will even say igbos are the most intelligent people in nigeria, i didnt say brilliant, but intelligent. But this type of inferiority complex atitude and still boasting about it, is falling my hand 4 igbo abeg. Assuming isreal even send them, e 4 beta.

[quote author=c.fours]Abor wears his kippah and his identity with pride.

"I am a Jewish Igbo," he says.

The Igbo are one of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups with population estimates ranging from 20 to 50 million. Abor is convinced that the Igbo's ancestors were Jews.

"The son of Yaakov, Jacob, [was] Gad and I learned that he was among those people who went out of Israel to exile," Abor says. "So from there he had a son called Eri and a son gave birth to a son called Aguleri and that's how the Igbo race began."

From generation to generation, some Igbo have passed down various versions of a migration story framed around Jacob, a patriarch of Judaism. A popular version of the narrative holds that Gad, the seventh son of Jacob, had three sons who settled in present-day southeastern Nigeria, which is predominantly inhabited by the Igbo. Those sons, Eri, Arodi and Areli (as mentioned in the book of Genesis), are said to have fathered clans, established kingdoms and founded towns still in existence in southeastern Nigeria today, including Owerri, Umuleri, Arochukwu and Aguleri.


Eze A.E. Chukwuemeka Eri, the king of a community in Aguleri, claims he presides over the throne of Gad's son, Eri.

Wearing a white shirt with the Star of David stitched on the front, King Eri points to a calendar on the wall of his palace that lists the names of his 33 predecessors. He has no doubts that Eri is his ancestor. He has even acquired land to establish an educational center for the study of Jewish culture.

"Israelites and Igbos are brothers," he says with a broad smile.

King Eri, like many, claims that the Igbo are the Jews of West Africa. They believe they are descendants of at least one of Israel's lost tribes. In the eighth century B.C. the Assyrians invaded Israel's northern kingdom forcing 10 tribes into exile. Historians say it is not unlikely that these tribes migrated westward to Africa.
When I grew up I heard, like virtually every Igbo here, that the Igbo people came from Israel.
Remy Llona, Niegrian author and lawyer

Throughout history, large populations of dispersed Jews also became "lost" through forced conversions and cultural assimilation.

"There is evidence that is scientific that the Igbos descended from the people that evolved in Israel," says Remy Ilona. He began investigating the stories from his youth more than a decade ago.

"When I grew up I heard, like virtually every Igbo here, that the Igbo people came from Israel," the Abuja-based lawyer says. His field work in Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Mali led him to conclude that Igbo and Jewish culture are not just similar, but "identical."

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/01/world/africa/nigeria-jews-igbo[/quote]o yea? Dis is the 21st century, when we have dna testing, carbondating, arceaological advancements, igbos can as well go deep into research and excarvations to back this claim up with blood evidence. Else this is the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, WITH THE GREEN WHITE GREEN FLAG( the most beautiful).

Iceslizer: _{When your English improves.}

na u sabi, d message has been passed across. And the guy made a point, when our grand parents wont retire to go into enterpreneurship,bt will xpect d young graduate to go start their own biz. Crazy country.

noblezone: How come this generation is so naive?

The President spoke in his office as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
This man by the statement has thrown a "nuclear bomb" to the Bokos and their sponsors.

By saying that they are not moslems, this will put any moslem leader defending Boko Haram or calling for amnesty to silence, else, the person must come forward and explain more.

Secondly, by calling them brainwashed ( Wow! i LOVE THAT PART), the president has once more shown me the reason I voted for him. Those comparing the ND militants and the brain washed Bokos must have their heads examined. I love you Jonathan!

Hammer them!

Did someone ask about amnesty?

No sir! these guys are brainwashed! Amnesty won't do them any good.

On a very serious note: This fight is not only fought with booms and guns. Mr. President has shown a superior Armour when it comes to Psychological Warfare.

Any one who finds this pronouncement that is very very Presidential, is neither naive or simply mischievous!

God bless ur soul sir, am glad we still people who have brain in this country, in my previous post i even went further to break down what GEJ meant by his statement using the analogy of thieves and killers who attend church, and call themselves christian, of which they are not, so like u said the president's speech has deep psychological meaning.
