nagoma: Zik was special and we all respect his intellect and education but I can see that you are making assumptions by " reading prepared statement " comment. I strongly recommend the book " Right honorable Gentleman " you will enjoy reading it and you will have so much enlightenment about many issues around Balewa and even Zik. Clark was the author.in any case the thread was not a comparison thread between Zik and Balewa so don't derail it.it just said Balewa was intelligent.

I have read from masters of wordsmith such as Azikiwe. It will amount to waste of my time to read from Clark. I hope you meant JP Clark.

django1: You're not too bright, just admit it.

You are too bright. By the way, I am not new to the antics of loudmouthed scoundrels.

debetmx: I dont blame your type, educated illiterate. Ojukwu fooled your ancestors and Ojukwu will still fool your unborn child

If you still can not understand at this moment in time that Gowon is a usurper, then I am not surprised by your choice of phrases in a sentence.

debetmx: You must be a learner. Ojukwu never wanted war but declared seccession when Gowon created 12 states and divided the eastern region into three.

You must be worse than a learner. Who gave Gowon right to divide eastern region into three states?

Paentera: DO NOT TWIST MY post to suit your thoughts or quote me out of context. Urban development is in phases and can be done to expand areas where surge in population has meant the initial infrastructure made for a small area needs to be expanded to accommodate more citizens.

Twisting comments to suit your own twisted thoughts just shows you for who you really are.

Please hold onto your twisted thoughts. Truth must be told regardless who is twisted out of human form because of it. I had been to places such as Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode, Shagamu and Ota as far back as 1978, yet some malnourished jester tried to tell me unfounded crap about these places in a previous thread. I had no intentions to twist a simple truth.

Paentera: Quite untrue. I passed through all 20 LGAs of the state in Dec 2012 and can confirm that massive road construction projects are also on-going in Ijebu Ode, Sagamu and Ado-Odo/Ota - areas the government considers key for urban development as well as for enhancing movement of goods for the state manufacturing base - Ado-Odo/Ota.

So its not only Abeokuta receiving attention. The state has it in plan to also open a road from Agbara through Ado-Odo/Ota linking the state with a ring road to avoid congestion for Abeokuta. There's more development coming.

I call the attention of illegitimate boy (ilugunboy) to the above post. This is from a Yooba peep who stated that “Ijebu Ode, Sagamu and Ado-Odo/Ota - areas the government considers key for urban development”. When I wrote that anybody who considered Ijebu Ode as an urban city should be shot, you got twisted out of human form.

django1: Plagiarism!!!
Be original.

Katsumoto

There is no sense of plagiarism with “wrestling matches”. I guess it is plagiarism to write “Be original”. The last time I checked though, you or ilk did not invent the phrase.

I urge Yooba peeps to warn Afenifere that issue at hand is not the wrestling matches called Kiriji wars. This is a very serious contest that involves AK-47.

Ganys: Is Boko Haram real or the metaphor of an agenda against a section of the country? - asks Aminu Sarki.....

Agenda against the North, Hausa/Fulani and Islam

Evidence:

So, without doubt there is Boko Haram which aims to establish, according to them, a just social system of governance as they understand it, which path to its establishment is strewn with violence and there is a “Boko Haram” which uses the violence of the authentic sect as a cover for its own violence aimed at psychological warfare, the need to maintain the status quo of northern division and to, through massive propaganda, cast a select set of northern leaders or politicians as sponsors of terrorism “because they have lost political power.” Any objective observer couldn’t have missed how through massive propaganda certain northern politicians are being made to look like the sponsors of the terror group because of their insistence on President Jonathan to honour the zoning agreement of his party, the P.D.P., cleverly avoiding the fact that the terror group’s existence preceded the zoning debate. In fact, this deliberate misinformation and miseducation will benefit more those who want to perpetuate the ethno-religious­ division in the north as these select northern leaders are cast in the mould of the Hausa/Fulani enemies of Christianity bent on enslaving or exterminating the northern minority tribes to engender a Hausa/Fulani hegemony or oligarchy. This latter “Boko Haram” could possibly be a mix of some Christian and Muslim psychopaths who can do any work for money in the same fashion as there are gangs of armed robbers with memberships cutting across religious and ethnic lines.

Evidences of my claim are:

(1.) The reported arrest of the suspects that sprayed bullets on the Gombe Deeper Life Church worshippers of which the suspects arrested were alleged to be Igbos. Keen observers would remember that “Boko Haram” claimed responsibility for that attack. Noteworthy also is the fact that the arrested suspects were moved from Gombe to Abuja and since then nothing has been heard about them.

(2.) Shortly after the Gombe Deeper Life Church massacre, following quickly also after the Gombe township bombing fiesta two men, named Hassan Ojudu and Samaila Yakubu, all of them Christians, were arrested in the same Gombe town with a vehicle loaded with explosive devices and ammunitions. If they were part of those who did the bombing fiesta Christians should note that “Boko Haram” also claimed responsibility,­ and if they were not a part of the bombing fiesta be assured that if they had not been arrested and they succeeded in using their own merchandise “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility.­ Curiously, since they were moved to Abuja nothing has been heard about them.

(3.) If the eight COCIN church members arrested with explosive devices at the Miya-Barkatai branch of the church in Bauchi State had succeeded in detonating what they were arrested with, be assured “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility and since the village is near Jos, Plateau State some brainwashed youths with hearts filled with hate would begin to pounce on any available Hausa/Fulani on sight for revenge.

(4.) If Miss Lydia Joseph had succeeded in burning down the St. John Catholic church in Bauchi city be assured it would have been attributed to Boko Haram or to Muslims.

(5.) If Emmanuel King, the guy who disguised as a Muslim wearing a turban and kaftan, had succeeded in bombing down the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Yenagoa the Bayelsa capital “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility,­ and the intended desire for reprisal would have further brought the real desire, which is polarization. It doesn’t matter whether the guy is sane or insane as he was later touted to be. Also, possibly in further pursuit of this polarization agenda some persons were reported to have burnt down a worship centre of the Church of God Mission International in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital as reported by the LEADERSHIP newspaper of Sunday, January 15, 2012 on page 9. Who did it may not be known now, but there is the possibility it could have been meant to trigger some kind of attacks against some undesirable elements with the added benefit of maintaining a national division.

(6.) If Madam Ruth had succeeded in bombing down the ECWA church in the Kalarin area of Kaltungo in Gombe State verily, verily I say unto thee “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility notwithstanding­ whether she was hypnotized or not as some may want to claim.

(7.) After the COCIN church headquarters bombing in Jos defence authorities issued a statement disclaiming the man lynched while trying to escape from the vicinity as not a soldier, whereas the man was wearing military uniform and was later identified as a member of the church. To lend credence to this possibility the Special Task Force (STF) on security in Jos on Sunday, March 25, 2012 paraded one Mr. Alex Danladi who was caught wearing army camouflage t-shirt, cap and boot while parading himself as a soldier. He was paraded alongside one Mr. Dung Bulus, a suspected fabricator of guns and some others whom the authorities said are students of the University of Jos. Also on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 the 2 Brigade, Nigeria Army, Bori Camp, Port Harcourt paraded one Abba Ibrahim allegedly caught with military uniforms and other gear including weeds suspected to be cannabis. He was said to be a dismissed military personnel and hails from Billiri, a predominantly Christian town in Gombe State and that at the time of his arrest he was standing trial for another case of impersonation (see THE NATION newspaper of Wednesday, March 28, 2012 page 57). Now, for a fee wouldn’t this Alex Danladi, donning his military gear, ask some persons manning some church entrance to open the gates and some paid murderers would drive in and detonate their bomb laden car? Or wouldn’t this Abba Ibrahim do the same for money?

(8.) On January 11, 2012 two Nigerians named, Sunday Eze from Anambra State and Samuel Taiwo from Ogun State and some three Ghanaians were arrested in Ghana with some heavy weaponry carefully concealed in a truck, which was to be brought to Nigeria. Opposing bail for the suspects in court on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 the Office of the Attorney-Genera­l of the Republic of Ghana said “the arms and ammunitions seized on transit to Nigeria were to be used to fuel terrorists’ activities in the country.” See the DAILY TRUST newspaper of Wednesday, March 28, 2012 page 3. These Nigerian suspects are from southern Nigeria and bear Christian names. So, on whose behalf were they bringing in those arms of which the Ghanaian authorities said were to be used for terrorism in Nigeria? And which terror group do they belong to?

(9.) On Tuesday, April 10, 2012 a 38 yea- old man named Monday Davou was arrested while planting a timed Improvised Explosive Device (IED) or time bomb, if you like, at the Makera weekly market in Riyom Local Government Area, Plateau State. This was with intent to commit mass murder, for that is what planting a bomb in a market will do. Now if Monday Davou’s bomb had exploded be sure that a “Boko Haram” spokesperson will have claimed responsibility and even before the statement of claim comes Monday Davou’s kinsmen would have launched “reprisal attacks” on any person that looked like Hausa/Fulani and their properties, and would have probably roasted some of the Hausa/Fulanis and eaten them like they did sometime in 2011.

(10.) The DAILY SUN newspaper of Monday, February 20, 2012 on page 12 reported the arrest in Akure, Ondo State of a gang of five armed robbers led by one Evangelist Wale Adelu, “an evangelist of one of the old generation churches, which has branches in the state capital…..and they were said to be meeting in his church before they proceeded on any robbery operation.” Wouldn’t this “evangelist” and his gang agree to bomb churches for a good fee?

(11.) Similarly, the SATURDAY SUN newspaper of Saturday, March 10, 2012 on page 10 reported that 11 cartons of explosives imported from South Africa and “carefully packaged to beat security checks” were intercepted by the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. The consignments were said to be for “Miero Marble Granite and Stones Limited in Kaduna State, with one Mr. Michael Awara Ernest as the representative to collect the explosives at the cargo terminal.” The Customs Area Controller in charge of the airport, Mr. Charles EporweiEdike while parading the suspect said “If these items were released to him, they could have been used to cause mayhem; we are now going to hand him and the items over to the police for further investigations.­” Well, since the handover to the police nothing has been heard about it again. And let the Muslims bearing Michael Awara Ernest step forward to the nearest police post for proper identification and documentation, please.

(12.) The THISDAY newspaper of Friday, January 13, 2012 on page 6 culled a news report from the BBC in which a British-based arms dealer, Gary Hyde was being prosecuted in a London court for unlawfully arranging the shipment of about 80, 000 guns and 32 million rounds of ammunition from China to Nigeria in 2007. But, the big question is, to whom did he make his shipment? To Muslim radicals or to some church going criminals?

(13.) On Sunday, February 19, 2012 four persons were arrested while trying to detonate explosives at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Parish, High-level in Makurdi the Benue State capital. The LEADERSHIP newspaper of Wednesday, February 22, 2012 on page 10 reported the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the state’s command, Mr. Alaribe Ejike as saying those four persons arrested were Christians and not Boko Haram members as speculated by members of the public. He said “We are still trying to find out certain things about them, but we have not confirmed whether they are Boko Haram members. It remains one thing, and as soon as we find out, we shall inform you accordingly.” Up till now nothing has been heard from the police. But, poor Alaribe Ejike may not have known that there is a “Boko Haram” with members possibly cutting across religious lines impersonating Boko Haram for some people’s strategic interests.

These few examples are possible involvements of Christians in betraying the church and Christians and the nation.

Ranting of a Cow

It is very shameful to see that Abeokuta is still in a sorry state. I guess illegitimate boy (Ilugunboy) is watching these posts. If the state capital still looks village-like, Shagamu which has been a livestock market and trailer park can not be regarded as urban.

It is a silly act of ingratitude to remotely juxtapose the eruditions of Azikiwe with those of Balewa. There is a great difference between reading a prepared statements and writing intelligible essays.

ckkris: Major-General James Oluleye wrote a powerful memoir, in which you can see how and when Awolowo, Adebayo, et al, abandoned Biafra. You will also see how Brigadier Obasanjo, as Head of State, was under Colonel Shehu Yar'adua, his official subordinate.
Before that, Dimka and Zamani Lekwot were leading the massacre of Ibos in Kaduna. Today they are paying and will continue to pay dearly for that decision.
Lt-General TY Danjuma may enjoy all the Oil Blocks as his war booty, as the hero that killed Ironsi, but he will never write any memoirs.
But the Civil War History must emerge. At least, Boko Haram, sponsored by those that controlled Brigadier Obasanjo, and assume that Nigeria is theirs to rule, are forcing issues, to throw up the facts that led to the civil war.

Are you sure about Zamani Lekwot being involved with the massacre of Igbo peeps in Kaduna? To the best of my knowledge no written account has associated Zamani Lekwot with such actions. There were instances soldiers such Bukar Dimka, Sani Abacha, M. Buhari, I Babamgida and M Shuwa were linked with 1966 pogrom in northern region of Nigeria.

Why he claimed to be defending constitution of Nigeria by keeping Nigeria one when, in fact, he usurped the position of Head of Stat?

Gbawe: You should ignore those with nothing to say. They want to take the thread in a certain direction. My brother, just like you pointed out sarcastically earlier, I guess what is shown below is not massive construction. It is a "bicycle path". Honestly, some should just go and work on their own mental health instead of coming here to show the entire world they are damaged good. Stakeholders and users of a State are expressing joy at[b] unprecedented[/b] development they are seeing and you who should be minding your own business, in your state thousands of kilometres away, is castigating them. Welcome to Nigeria the home of many sick 'puppies' with unresolved issues.

The above project is nothing but fool’s theory in action. Is there any reason to waste fund on an elevated carriageway when there no fathomable reason other than political shenanigan?

bolaino: must u resort to insults MR? Well, it's obvious you are'nt learned cos this is one of the traits of an illiterate ibo boy, u mukunu being,

You are so learned you can not string an intelligible sentence with the word – illiterate. I shall not be surprised if your forbearers disown you by now, Mr. Delta State.

alj harem: Dede, you are never honest with your assertions. The question is simple and does not require any defensive insult.

alj

What type of honesty do you expect from a simple poser? You owned the statement that insulted certain people by calling them bigots hence my question. I know respect begets respect.

bolaino: I'm from Delta state my good man, honestly I never expected the answers I got from these ibo people, why are they so full of hatred?

On the 34th page of the thread you started, you are still ashamed of the ethnic identity of your forbearers. I must say that such single act speaks volumes about a character of person you really are, olodo.

manny4life: Lagos isn't the one deporting them, the Lagos Command Immigration Service is. Illegal immigration is kinda good and bad, however it needs to be curbed.

Tell that to the moronic thread originator.

alj harem: ^^^^^

What state are you from because these bigots think you are yoruba.

Is it not a matter of deliberate idiocy to arrogate to oneself the knowledge of what another mere mortal thinks?

Aigbofa: You are right, will you be kind enough to accommodate these unfortunate people in your home in the east?

This is the point I tried to raise on the other thread with respect to learning a lesson. Most of the posters who did not fathom that Lagos State has no powers to deport foreign ants are indigenes of southwest of Nigeria.

Certain Nigerians are goofy as hell. Lagos State has no constitutional powers or rights to deport any foreign national from Nigeria.

Aigbofa: A lesson Achebe failed to learn in all his years on earth.

There is no tangible lesson to learn from people who invented smokescreen. We will recognize their actions and reserve our comments.
